French, Japanese accused of drug dealing

[geovalin]

Preah Sihanouk provincial anti-drug police say they arrested three foreigners distributing marijuana on Koh Rong Sanloem island early on Saturday, confiscating five small bags of the drug. Police identified the three as Kengo Yasu Kawa, 35, from Japan, Pierre Jean Firmin, 27, and Lauri Berther, 22, both from France. 
 

The provincial police report said that two plastic bags of dried marijuana weighing a total of 14.39 grams were found with Mr. Kawa and three bags of dried marijuana weighing 17.69 grams were found with Mr. Firmin. Sun Sophat, a deputy police chief in charge of the provincial anti-drug section, declined to say what led to the arrests, saying it had to be confidential.
 

“Regarding the tactics, we cannot tell you because it is technical work,” he said. Mr. Sophat said the three bought the marijuana from people at Otres village. Police were searching for the others involved.

Getting arrested for drug dealing in Cambodia ? Things must have changed a lot then, when I was there bags of ganja were just hanging around in little roadside shops, and the happy pizza's were loaded with them, lol.

Cambodia is really 30 years late...

 

When the whole world controlled by monkeys that all politicians are, will finally legalize it, Cabodia starts making problems...

Drug dealing ? Certainly not.. a bag of 10g costs about 5-10 $ in cambodia so they were probably just buying a bit for 1 or 2 weeks ..
